to you colleagues and students.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#212121;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">This collaborative event aims to invigorate a new health research community from Australia and the Pacific islands region in the context of the unfolding UN
Sustainable Development agenda. The workshop will be the first in a series of events designed to broker networks and partnerships for research and innovation for health in the region.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#212121;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Workshop organisers and sponsors have set out to organise an event that is deliberately different from standard conferences. An emphasis has been placed on
seeking funding for travel scholarships to bring Pacific voices, scholars and practitioners to the event in order to construct research agendas that are Pacific-driven, respond to needs and create agendas for joint research and action.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#212121;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">The 4 thematic streams that are wide ranging and reflect the diverse challenges and opportunities for health and policy in the region all in the context of
the unfolding SDG agenda. These will be co-chaired by Australian and Pacific Island researchers and practitioners who will provide lead inputs to kick start a conversation that is designed to address key questions/issues such as where are the capacity and
research needs and how can we best provide research to help Pacific health under the SDG agenda . This will use a modified talanoa method with a facilitator calling on key people in the room to provide a short (5 minutes) input to help the conversation develop
further.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
